Mamaw’s Place in Mountain City was one of the cutest and most authentic places we’ve ever stayed. Being only a few minutes from town, we were able to enjoy all that Mountain City had to offer while also enjoying the peacefulness of staying on a farm. The host was friendly and attentive, and she offered excellent suggestions on what to check out while we were in Mountain City. We will definitely be back!

Mamaw’s Place was the perfect quaint stay for a long weekend! It has such a cozy feel to it between the decorations, the lighting, and the adorable Pyrenees that greets you as you come and go. The house was very clean - my mom is a professional cleaner and even she was impressed at the cleanliness. It balances the country feel while still being close enough to town in case you need something. Debbie was an incredible host - easily accessible by phone and informative.

What a great place! I absolutely loved staying here. The farm setting took me back to wonderful memories of my own grandmother's house. I had everything I needed, plus more. This is the cleanest place I've ever stayed. There might be a speck of dust somewhere, but I sure didn’t see any! Debbie was available for any questions I had. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you for a comfortable and fun stay!

Perfect Mountain Getaway

The house was perfect for our weekend of decompressing and the farm animals added a charming touch. We couldn’t have asked for a better host. Debbie went above and beyond, provided detailed instructions and even shared a list of local events, links and dining options that would suit our needs based on the information we provided. We highly recommend this experience!

Comfortable stay & charming little country house.

Honestly, we only accessed the house at night. Beds were comfy and host was really good to accommodate our specific needs. We were part of a men's team and our accommodations at a local hotel were canceled so repair contractors coming into the are had a place to stay. We come up twice a year to minister to the inmates at the local penitentiary. Debbie I will probably call you in the spring to book again. Thanks. We enjoyed Mamaw's place much better than the local hotel.

Home away from Home

This was the best stay we have had. Debbie’s home was warm and delightful. It felt so peaceful from the first step in until the last step out. We were treated with such care. Debbie went above and beyond any host we have had so far. She should get the VRBO best stay award for the year. The house is clean and perfect for 2-3 people. What a great to star a new Season. Thank you Debbie for making our first time in Mountain City a time we will never forget.

Peaceful location and great host

We had a great stay. The home is on a working farm just a few minutes from town. We enjoyed watching the goats, sheep, cows, chickens, and bees. The chickens would run up to the fence whenever they saw us. The house is an old farmhouse, complete with creaky wooden floors, which we loved. We traveled around a lot during our stay, visiting Damascus (VA creeper trail), Abington, Banner Elk, Elk Park, Boone, and Erwin. All are within about a 1 hour drive. Debbie was very helpful finding some local fall festivals for us.
